While I somewhat agree, you need to remember at one time all operational helicopters were piston powered. The R-66 has a good safety record but still suffers from the horrible design choices of the R-22 and the R-44 where they are susceptible to mast bumping and blade flapping. And if you look at Enstrom helicopters as unconventional as their blade pitch change system is they are quite good little helicopters that are good for training. The R-22 is good for training and that is about it, and the only reason people use them for other stuff is because they are relatively cheap but, you know the old adage, "You get what you pay for."@@GRosa250

From the start of the video it is obvious that the engine does not make enough power. ( manifold pressure, speed, vsi ). For them who says about Robinsons, they must consider that most of the piston helicopters are Robinsons , therefore most of the accidents are from that company. In this particular accident the problem is the engine not the helicopter. Any way the pilot made good job no panic, and hopefully they didn't have any injuries.

How would a fixed wing have been any better in this situation? Unlike a helicopter, you need a long stretch of empty land to land an airplane in the event of engine failure. If this guy had found even one small 1/4 acre spot of unwooded land, he could have landed unscathed. But in an airplane, collision with trees at relatively high speed would be the only option, unless the pilot was highly skilled and able to intentionally stall it just above tree-line at very low forward speed, effecting the same sort of vertical crash through the trees this heli had. Emergency landings in the event of engine failure are usually much safer in a heli if the pilot has practiced his autorotations. They don't have to resort to such dangerous maneuvers as landing on highways.
